September: Your Photos on Fabric

Extend the warm-weather season with images of your garden printed on pillows—or personalize your place with any theme you choose. It’s a snap to do: Take high-resolution digital photos (at least 150 dpi) of a favorite subject, crop them to your liking, then upload them to an online fabric printer, such as (Karma Kraft), Spoonflower, or Fabric on Demand. The company will transfer the images onto a material of your choice and either send you yardage to stitch up yourself or, in the case of the Karma Kraft pillows shown here, supply the zippered covers. Either way, you’ve got a picture-perfect addition to any room.
